Video coming soon...

The pulley Plank row reverse lat pulldown workout is a highly effective exercise that primarily engages the abs and lats.

By using the pulley system, this workout targets these muscles with precision and intensity.

The pulley allows for controlled movements, ensuring proper form and maximum engagement of the abs and lats.

While other muscles may be involved, the pulley’s role is crucial in specifically targeting the abs and lats.

Stand facing the pulley machine with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
Grasp the handle with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and extend your arms straight in front of you.
Engage your core and keep your back straight as you step back, creating tension on the cable.
With your arms extended, hinge forward at the hips, maintaining a neutral spine.
Initiate the movement by pulling the handle towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Continue pulling until your elbows are fully bent and the handle is at chest level.
Pause for a moment, then slowly reverse the movement, extending your arms back to the starting position.

Engage your core by imagining a string pulling your belly button towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and activate your abs throughout the exercise.
Keep your back straight and avoid rounding your shoulders. Imagine a straight line from your head to your heels, maintaining proper posture to effectively target your lats.
Focus on pulling with your lats rather than relying solely on your arms. Visualize your lats contracting and pulling the weight towards your body, maximizing the engagement of these muscles.
Control the movement by using a slow and controlled tempo. Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and increase the risk of injury.
Experiment with different grip variations to target your muscles from different angles. Try an overhand grip for a wider lat engagement, or an underhand grip to emphasize your biceps and upper back. Don’t be afraid to mix it up and find what works best for you!
